– Erik Alenvret takes over after Kjell Karlsson

Fraktlogistik Svenska AB appoints new CEO. As of October 1, Erik Alenvret, former CFO, will take over the role of CEO. Meanwhile, Kjell Karlsson continues as CMO and board member, after several successful years as CEO.

We at Fraktlogistik Svenska AB want to express our deepest gratitude to our outgoing CEO, Kjell Karlsson, for his leadership and significant contributions during his time as CEO. Kjell will continue to be a part of Fraktlogistik by now fully focusing on his role as CMO and board member.

Erik Alenvret takes over as the new CEO of Fraktlogistik from October 1st. Erik has been part of the company for over three years, most recently as CFO, a role he will manage alongside the role of CEO. With a deep understanding of our business and market, he is now taking the next step in his leadership to continue driving Fraktlogistik’s growth journey forward.

Three questions to Erik

What are you looking forward to the most in your new role as CEO of Fraktlogistik?
I am really looking forward to building on the solid foundation that already exists at Fraktlogistik. Together with the team, I want to accelerate our development and strengthen our position as a leading and neutral logistics and transport provider. It is about leveraging the opportunities present in a rapidly growing industry and creating long-term value for our customers and partners..

You have been CFO for almost three years, how will that affect your perspective as CEO?
Having had the financial overall perspective has given me a good understanding of how the various parts of the business interact. I have also gotten to know the organization, which provides a strong foundation as we now take the next step. The balance between strategic development, financial goal management, and operational efficiency will continue to be important.

What do you see as the biggest opportunities for Fraktlogistik moving forward??
As a player in the logistics industry, we face both challenges and opportunities. Our services and our network of partners make us well positioned to meet the needs of the market. Going forward, it is about growing sustainably, developing our services and attracting the right skills to continue to make a difference… not unique, but better…

We take the opportunity to ask the same three questions to Kjell

What are you most looking forward to in your role as CMO of Fraktlogistik?
I am really looking forward to being able to focus entirely on my role as CMO. It will give me the opportunity to fully utilize my experience and creativity to strengthen our brand and marketing strategies. I look forward to working closely with my Marketing Group and together driving our growth and strengthening our position in the market. It is an exciting time for Fraktlogistik, and I am enthusiastic about being able to contribute to our continued success in a more focused way.

You have been CEO/CMO for over five years, how does that affect your perspective as a sole CMO?
Having held both the roles of CEO and CMO for the past five years has given me a unique insight into how our business operates at all levels. This experience has enabled me to understand the strategic and operational challenges we face, and I can now fully apply this knowledge in my role as CMO. It has been incredibly fun to shoulder both roles since the company was founded, but now it feels good to hand over the baton to Erik.

What do you see as Fraktlogistik’s biggest opportunities going forward?
I can only agree completely with Erik’s answer – not unique, but better!
